Middlebury-area skateboarders are about to get a fun, sneak preview of what it’ll eventually be like to have a permanent, concrete skatepark in town.
A grassroots effort to install a 7,500-square-foot, concrete skatepark in Middlebury’s recreation park has been on a gnarly trajectory, with organizers hoping to airwalk the project to fruition by next fall so thrashers can begin banging out ollies.
“We want to make it abundantly clear there’s a demand (for a local skateboard),” said Ethan Murphy, co-leader of the Middlebury Skatepark Coalition.
